### Shocker: Dean’s Stunning Confession of Rape in Explosive Courtroom Drama! | *EastEnders* Spoilers

In a gripping turn of events on *EastEnders*, Dean Wicks finally admits to raping Linda Carter during a shocking outburst at his murder trial. The trial’s tense proceedings began with a dramatic interruption when Sharon Watts was held in contempt of court after she lashed out at Dean’s lawyer and the judge. As the trial unfolded, Linda—who had been deeply affected by the events—was set to testify. However, upon seeing Sharon with the police, she panicked and fled the scene.

The latest episode of the BBC One soap saw Sharon confined to a police cell while the remaining members of “The Six” frantically searched for Linda outside the courtroom. Johnny Carter, desperate to find a way to help Linda, mentioned her children, Annie and Ollie, to Phil Mitchell, sparking an idea. Phil seized the moment and pretended that the children were in the hospital, which successfully lured Linda out of her hiding place. Rushing from her hotel to check on her children, Linda was surprised to find her friends waiting for her instead. Their intervention proved effective, giving Linda the courage she needed to return to court.

Once back in the courtroom, Linda held her own during the majority of her cross-examination. She confidently recounted her story, standing firm even when Dean’s lawyer attempted to undermine her credibility. Linda remained composed, particularly when questioned about her history of drinking, asserting that she had been sober, even on Christmas Day, to maintain the jury’s trust.

During a break in the trial, Dean began to unravel, overcome with fear about his future. His lawyer, Finn, urged him to stay calm, but Dean’s anxiety continued to mount. As the trial resumed, Dean grew increasingly frustrated, accusing “The Six” of conspiring against him. When pressed on why the murder weapon was found in his flat, Dean snapped, accusing Linda of planting it as revenge for the rape—a crime he had denied for years. In a moment of overwhelming pressure, Dean finally confessed to the rape in front of the entire court.

This explosive confession has the potential to send Dean to prison, but his fate in the murder case remains uncertain. The judge has called for a recess, leaving the future of “The Six” hanging in the balance and viewers on the edge of their seats as they wait to see what will happen next.
